Excerpt from Guide to the Insects of Connecticut, Vol. 5: The Odonata or Dragonflies of Connecticut

Dragonﬂies are among the most beautifully colored and deli cately constructed oi all insects. They deserve consideration by the amateur naturalist, as well as the professional. Moreover, they are desirable tenants in mosquito-plagued districts and, if they could only' be reared in large numbers, would form a natural arm of defense against a universal nuisance. Few insects combine such a useful career with the natural beauty that we find in dragonﬂies, and so it is hoped that the present small contribution will help some one at least to know the dragonﬂy better and to appreciate its many admirable qualities.
